It was so convenient to not have to travel a long way for my procedure. From the pre-orientation to my recovery from the procedure, everything was great. The Center’s staff was top notch and very accommodating to patients’ needs, even at night. I rarely ever had to push a call button because a staff member was right there to take care of everything I needed!
